Re: too much cork

The sandpaper and file aren't working because there is cork grease embedded in the cork and lubricating it. Use acetone to remove the cork grease from the cork, then try the file and sandpaper again.

Make sure it's indeed the cork that's binding, and not the wood on the tenons. Many new clarinets have a problem with the wood of the tenons swelling and binding in their sockets.
